TOOL FOR PAINTING PAILS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 46,075., dated January31, 1865.

pails; and I do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, andexact description of the same, due reference being had to theaccompanying drawings by the letters of reference marked thereon.

The object of my invention is to provide means to ornament or paintpails and similar articles with devices or gures dii'ering from them incolor, and to avoid the use of stencils or diagrams, and apply theiignres or ornaments much faster than by hand or any of the old methods.

To these ends its nature consists in preparing a surface thatcorresponds to the surface of the pail to be ornamented with raisedfigures or ornaments, such as are deemed desirable to apply, and soarranging it that it may be readily applied to the pail after having thecolor applied to the raised ornamental design.

Figure l (see drawings) shows aview of the apparatus embodying myinvention, in which A is a section of a'cone of such size and taper thatthe exterior surface of figures or orna ments thereon shall correspondto surface of the pail to which it is to be applied. Fig. 2 shows thesurface (when extended) necessai y to meet around a pail.

In operation the color is applied to the surface of the figures, whichare then applied to the pail, and the latter turned once around, turningthe roll with it, the handle facilitating the operation. i"

It is evident that by a proper arrangement of the designs, pails of thesame taper, though of different sizes, may be ornamented by the 'sametool.

The dotted lines c c show the position of the hoops of the pail, whichmay be used as a guide in operation.

I am aware that rolls have been used in printing, &c. These I do notclaim, as they do not answer the conditions of my invention.

What I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is-

The conical die-roll, when constructed in the manner and for thepurposes substantially as above set forth and described.

In testimony whereof I have hereunto set my hand in the presence of twowitnesses.

JONATHAN CARTER.
